The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1887-10-14

1t is a fact, perhaps not generally
known. that with single exception
every chief clerk of a Department under
Presid ert Cleveland's ADMINISTRATION, Is
a hold-over Republican, although those
places are not under ciyil-service rules.
Why this is thus [ have, as yet, been I'M
able to discover, but, it ''overcomes me

Bless your lovely soul honey we

YOU are just becoming fatigued. You

you? We admire your patience but

he p Ople are greatly rejoiced be-
cruse these Republicans are retain.
Ell to the exclusion of Democrats.
All the conventions and all the
newspapers, and the papers say all
the people endorse the American
king. And they say no other man
can be nominated, and if nominated
could be elected. They say this
king Is bigger than the party, that
he is itsonly hope and salvation, that
without him to lead and without his
policy we would melt like butter, or
be scattered like antumnal leaves
before the storm God. So you see
it must be right and Democra tic to
retain Republicans and the more the
better. Cleveland we suppose has
committed crime in the minds of
some for turning out any. If it is a
virtue to retain Republic ans In of
fee, why not retain all and be more
vlrtuous? If it is a virtue to retain
Republicans in office from Demo>
cratic standpoint. why will it not be
a virtue to elect Republicans to Of
fee in the first instance? If we ha /
it In our power no Republicans
would be elected nor would any be
retained. But we are as helpless as
a new born babe. But you have in
vaded our DOMINION and territory.
No man except US has right to find
fault with the American king. We
monopolize this business, and we
want you to draw in your horns :;

ATTACKING CRIME IN SAN FRAN.
CISCO.

San Francisco has caught the infec-
ton and is now turning its attention
to the punishment of corruption in high
places. Having convicted one jury
briber, Ex-senator Creighton who is a
local politician of some influence, he
has taken French leave and gone, not
to Canada, but TO that new resort for
American crooks, Mexico. Others are
on the list for punishment, among them
some Of the leading political msnipu-
lators and officials, and a sensation
may be expected down there. Politics
has less TO do with these investigations
than an earnest desire to put
stop to the evils which exist.
The foreman of the grand
jury is steady, immoYsble
Scotchman, who imsgiues his outy to
be to ferret out crims and punish Grim
inal5. He is said to be no respecter of
persons though he seems TO pursue the
rich and influential with special deter
mination. Much of the work which
would ordinarily be assigned to detec-
tives and peace officers, the foreman
performs, because, as he says, he wants
to know that it is well and thoroughly
done.
While San Francisco is one of the
most progressive cities on the continent,
growing and improving faster thai any
other, it has had the reputation Of be-
ing one of the most corrupt in its ad-
mi istration. Rings" and combina-
tons control everywhere, and exercise
such complete mastery that little is done
which does not first receive the sanction
OF one or another OF the combination s
which are maintained for the purpose
of doing things outside the legitimate
and regular order. The grand jury
may succeed in doing something to-
wards publication, but in view of the
power of the rings it would be better
gamble to say that the would-be pGri
iers will go down first.

An EXCHANGE presents the oonvinc-
ing argument that if at the last session
Congress had distributed among the
States the $4,000, 900 provided by the
Blair educational bill, and had abol-
ished the internal revenue tax on to-
bscco and thus cut of the $50, OO0, 600 oil
revenue, there would be no SlO0, O0o, 900
surplus in the treasury to-day. 1t is an
equally self-evident proposition that
for two dollars and half the
Secretary of the Treasury can hire u
a dray to haul 500. 100000 to the
Potomac and dump it into the river,
and thxs abolish the surplus.

RANDOLPH TUcKER has begun to pull
the wires for his denomination to Con-
gress next year. He hoped and ex-
pected TO get an appointment under
Cleveland, and was bidder for pretty

President regard him as fit. Nov, Mr..
Tucker wants 10 get back into his old

INCREASING IT'S POWERS.

The only really successful or formid-
able competitor of the Western Union
Telegraph Company has been the Bal
timore & Ohio, which for years has
been thorn in the side OF the great
monopoly. Company after company
has been bought or crushed by the w.
u, but the B. IL .. has stood out
against the efforts TO break it. The B.
& .. has also steadily made money. At
East, however, it has gone by the
board. The announcement Is made in
our dispatches this morning that the
". U. has bought its rival and viii
at one assume control. The only orpo-
sition to the Western Union now
is Bonanza Msckay's Postal, and
1t will be Il miracle if that can much
longer hold out against the mighty
concern which it is bucking We would
all like to see it win, but what are pop
ular likes and good wishes when they
stand in the way of "souIless corpo-
ration7" There are many reasons to

soon capture the Postal, and thus be
without opposition in the telegraph
business of America. One of these
reasons is in the well understood fact
that Jay Gould has set out to floor Mr..
Aackay, and another reason is in
the equally well known fact
that the Pacific Coast million ARE,
shrewd and far-seeing as he is, is no
match for the great manipulation. OF the
east. The loss of 5000 600 by Mackay
in his Nevada Bank wheat deal is said
70 have excited smile on the counter
snoe OF Gould. who evidently thought
his intended victim was so much nearer
his clutches. One of these days the
great squeezing act will be performed,
and big hearted, enterprrsing John

INTO POLITICS.

Sheriff Kendall, of Garfield County,
Colorado, was the most conspicuous
figure in the late Ute fiasco. Indeed, it
was he, more than any other one man,
who created the trouble and came so
near bringing on an uncalled for and
entirely unnecessary war with Colorow's
Indians. If it had not been for the
sherik's precipitate, if not illegal action
in pursuing and firing on the inoffen-
sive redskins, nothing would have been
heard OF any Indian trouble because
there would have BEEN none.1 Kendall is
s candidate for reelection next month,
and while he is trying to turn the Ute
incident to account, his opponents and
the nght-th mixing men of the county
are employing it against him. They are
making 1t q point that he is danger

debt be has ssddled upon the county
by his Bnwise and illegal conduct. On
the other hand, he is urging that as the
majority of the people encouraged him
IN driving the Indians out, they should
now stand by him; and, furthermore,
that il his election Is refused, it will be
equivalent to giving notice that the
county did wrong, and therefore can.
not present claim TO the State Legs
iaturo for payment OF the
debt incurred. The contest is a
bitter one, and some of the Denver
papers are taking part in 1t, trying to
defeat Kendall, and thus encourage the
State to refuse payment of the debt fo-
which Garfield County is alone respon-
sible. In the light of the facts as they
developed at the time of the trou Bile, and
in view of the official report of General
Crook. as published a few days ago, it
would seem that the sheriff ougHf 10 be

means than those employed. They say
tn coal stove cannot be supplanted by
anything as satisfactory, and that
nothing equals kerosene for ILL NIL
mating.
The elaborate descriptions f the
Presidents vestibule train, in which
he and his party are being whirled
across the country, tell how the cars
are heated by steam from the locomo-
tive boiler, and the light is produced
By electricity, the dynamos being
hidden away in corners of The cars.
The arrangement is such that the tenn
perature may be regulated as in ordinary
steam heating, while there is neither
smoke, dust nor ashes, and there is alb
solute safety as regards fire. Should
an accident occur to the train, and the
cars be rolled down an embankment or
thrown off trestle, the connection be-
tween the boiler and the coaches is at
once broken. There are no live Goals to

passengers. The severiDg OF wire cuts
off the flow of electricity, and there is
darkness, but there are no rivulets Of
burning oil to run over the imprisoned
people and intensity their agony, and
make death certain. Travelling in this
manner is not only luxurious, but it is
relieved of the danger and anxiety
which all experience when they think of
the stove aud realize that a collision, q
c4psiSiug or even severe jar Is liable

The fact that train for the Presi
dent can be warmed and lighted with
out stoves and kerosene, proves that
trains for rybody may be similarly
served. The life of President is worth
good deal, but it is worth no more to
him than are the lives of Brown, Jones
and Robinson to them.

pumb ber of such mem bers. There too many
of such mem bers msrepresenting their constitu-

good stump speech aud assimilate with the
voters of their districts. They generally come
from large cities and obtain their election by
panderlng to the lusts and mixing with the bum
mers of the wards before the nominations and
spending their money freely afterwards. They
get much financial help from outside parties who
expect to need their services and who know they
can depend on them. This growing evil, it has
been pointed out recently number of times by
good men, calls for action from the people of the
country.
Some Of these active lobby mem bers-and the

the passage of the interstate ommerce bill when
1t was before Congress. and for consideration
worked to defeat 1t. Now they are bowling for
its support and are saying it will stand that 1t
can neither be repealed substituted that it
is good enough, and the people demand it. The
secret of this change of heart is the railroads

official influence upon the commissioners. and
they do not want to be disturbed in their har-
